watch snobs, who makes a nice "time piece"?

[BlahBlahYouToo]

if i wanted to be a pretentious snob, what watch would i wear?

They all make a nice "time piece". Do you actually want one or not? Price range?

~$5k, $10k tops.

Stay the hell away from Tag. Pretentious would be Rolex. A bit more classy, in my opinion, would be Breitling. Seikos are nice, but in a different sort of category. Omegas are real nice too and I don't think they are as pretentious as Rolex, however, they too really are like a 'level' below Rolex. That being said I do love vintage Omegas.

I think somebody who appreciates watches would favor a Breitling over a Rolex, but that is just my wild ass guess.

What kind of clothing would you be wearing it with? And how often? To what sort of occasions, or casual?

I'll likely never buy a watch that isn't automatic. There's something inexplicably awesome about Rolex's tourbillons.

any others aside from the ones i listed?

what would a "connoisseur" of watches wear?

Tag and Seikos aren't really in the same league as Rolex/Omega/Breitling/Cartier

If you wanna try less popular (but still really prestigious among watch fans) try Ebel.

Not sure if you can get Panerai at 10k but those have a really distinct look.

business casual, jacket and tie events, meetings with people of importance, etc.

If you're not crazy about watches, and I assume you're not, you should probably just pick up a decent replica.

True, one can't beat the movement on a Rolex (guess Omega is on par with it). I just mention the above because I think so many people want to buy a Rolex just for the sake of having a Rolex. That's why I think if somebody got a "lesser known" brand than people who are attracted to watches would find it more interesting.

THIS WEBSITE sells vintage Rolex and Omega watches. You can probably find some real nice old school vintage Omega that would go with a lot of outfits for less than a brand new one.

I can't really say I understand. If you don't truly appreciate the watch, then what makes it worth $5-10K? Most people couldn't tell the difference between a replica and authentic, and there are even some great replicas that can only be identified as fakes when brought to the companies that make the original.

But to each his own.

The whole point of having a 5k watch is to own a 5k watch. Getting a replica just makes you a poser. Other people might not know but OP would know and that's enough

Jacket and tie? People of importance? This sounds like another of your polls, which you try to post 3-4x a day.

How about this, pick a watch like "people of importance" do: ignorant of brand, but knowledgeable of appearance. It either speaks for itself or it doesn't. You know or you don't. We can't tell you what kind of watch to buy.

Actually, OP wouldn't and that's why he asked. Insecurity is his issue. If not, why post this topic?

Well, "would know" as in he would know deep down he's just wearing a fake

You've got $10k to spend on a watch but, you don't have "people" to tell you what time it is? You poor deprived bastard.

I must disagree. Some people can appreciate the elegance of a beautifully made watch. Such as how an automatic watch can keep time so well and accurately. Owning a $5k watch to own a $5k watch does make you a poser.

There are plenty of watches significantly cheaper than 5k that look pretty damn good and tell time just as well. Hell, a 5 dollar casio can tell time well enough for any practical purpose.
